Pulling engine today.
Haven't done this in a while so help me out if you can. Here's a list of tasks I've compiled, let me know if I missed anything:
Remove hood, drain radiator & remove hoses, remove alternator, no A/C, no PS, disconnect mech oil pressure line, disconnect starter & label wires, remove distributor, accelerator cable & carb, remove fuel pump but leave line attached---secure, remove driveshaft, remove shifter linkage, loosen motor & tranny mounts, remove exhaust system @ the manifold, ----remove engine & tranny.
Anything else?
Car is a 1970 Corvette, currently w/350 & M-20. Rebuilt 454 & M-22 going in it's place.

Ok, got a question already.
How should I handle the Z-bar? Do I disconnect at the block? Or at the other end where it attaches to the frame?

on small cars yes. but fat fender cars are pretty much the same in size and weight as the donor car. i found s10 brakes work great on fat fender and pickups. a deuce will just need manual brakes...
Time for brakes
